4 Cs
of Sexual Arousal

Communication

By Steve and Cathy Brody*

Communication

After you find your courage, you then need to communicate clearly and effectively.

"Often lack of communication," writes noted sex researcher Helen Singer Kaplan, "helps to perpetuate a dysfunctional sexual system and to escalate an existing problem."

Be sensitive to differences in your communication styles. You might be more affected sexually by work stress or relationship conflict than your partner is, for example. For many, it's difficult to have good sex when you don't feel good about yourself or your relationship.
